Description

A challenging 200 showcasing the High Weald, one of the finest medieval landscapes in the UK, celebrating its 5th year in 2026.

The ride leaves Dulwich Wood, heading east to take in the Knatt's Valley before turning south into the High Weald.

There are few headline climbs but the elevation soon starts to mount up as you enter the undulating landscape of wooded hills, duck ponds, oast houses and tile-hung villages of the Weald itself. Passing through Rudyard Kipling country the route turns west at Battle, then heading north across The Ashdown Forest at Uckfield, before encountering a final sting in the tail at Hogtrough Hill.

Catered control at Framfield.

The finish will be at Griffin Sports Ground in Dulwich Village, where refreshments and food will be included with your entry.

Note that the finish location at Griffin Sports Ground is approx 5km from the depart at Crystal Palace.

Route sheet and GPX track will be sent to all participants in late April.
